Popeye's Prank Call

Summary

The prank caller, posing as Larry Johnson, calls a Popeyes restaurant to complain that he drove there for the advertised $4.99 eight-piece chicken deal, only to find the restaurant had run out. He insists that the restaurant owes him a free bucket, arguing that “the customer is always right.” The employee says they can’t give away food and directs him to Popeyes’ customer-service number.

The caller then asks to speak to the owner and repeats his complaint. The owner explains that the promotion was for one day and suggests contacting customer service, perhaps to get a coupon. The caller continues bargaining, asking whether the owner could sneak him a chicken leg—or even a wing—out the back door. The owner protests that doing so could cost him his job.

The call ends with the caller making bizarre offers, including cookies and sparkling water, leaving the employee exasperated.
